TIMELESS DESIGN
Remains Lighting recently added the
Scofield Collection to a majority of
its showrooms across the country.
The line pays homage to Richard
D. Scofield, who founded Scofield
Lighting and based his designs off
early-American and traditional-Euro-
pean lighting. A selection of the hand-
crafted chandeliers, sconces, lanterns
and flush-mounted fixtures, all made
with hand-operated equipment, is now
on display at Remains’ Greenwich
showroom. 44 West Putnam Ave.,
Greenwich, 203-629-1000,
remains.com, scofieldlighting.com.
ARTFULLY YOURS
Schwartz Design Showroom
isn’t wasting any time. Last fall, the
interior design resource opened
its 5,500-square-foot space in
Stamford, and not six months later,
it’s welcoming the Shine by S.H.O
collection, created by designer
Susan Hornbeak-Ortiz. Boasting
edgy designs and a playful array of
silhouettes and geometric shapes,
the line is in good company with
Schwartz’s already expansive selec-
tion of home décor. 330 Fairfield
Ave., Stamford, 203-817-0433,
schwartzdesignshowroom.com.

CERAMIC DELIGHT
Lladró, best known for its
porcelain figures for more
than half a century, has
moved to a new showroom
in the Decoration and
Design building, showcasing
its latest lighting and
home décor collection.
Handcrafted in its founding
city, Valencia, where the
Lladró brothers made
their first creation in 1953,
each piece—down
to the shades on the
palatial chandeliers—is
fashioned in the brand’s
signature medium, porcelain.
979 Third Ave., NYC,
212-838-9356, lladro.com.

ENDLESS INSPIRATION
After 25 years, the Connecticut-based luxury tile and stone manufacturer,
AKDO, has opened its first flagship showroom in Manhattan this past March.
Spanning two floors, the new 10,000-square-foot space showcases the brand’s
collection of natural stone, mosaic and slabs. Matte-white floors, walls and
millwork act as the ultimate blank canvas with a dedicated workplace for design-
er and client discussions, a library of AKDO’s past projects and two working
bathroom vignettes. 22 West 21st St., NYC, 212-485-0448, akdo.com.
NESTING INTEREST
A diverse and prolific
artist, Lynn Valenti has
dedicated her life to fash-
ion and beauty. In April,
Valenti tapped into the
business side of things,
opening the Roost
Consignment in Wilton.
As is hinted by its name,
the shop is the go-to
spot for homeowners and
interior designers look-
ing to create spaces that
exemplify the meaning
of home. Offerings range
from gently used designer,
midcentury modern and
retro home décor to more
exotic pieces, including
rare linens from Turkey.
